Totally agree with you…
On that point…
- The Conservative Party suspended the triple lock in 2021, breaking a Manifesto pledge
- The Conservatives broke a manifesto commitment to fix the social care crisis, and successive Conservative Governments promised to publish a plan to improve social care - Alzheimers UK found that families are being forced to shoulder 63% of the cost of dementia care (equivalent to £51,000 a year on average)
- Boris Johnson pledged in 2019 that no-one would have to sell their house to pay for social care under a Conservative government. In 2020, more than 17,000 pensioners were forced to sell their homes to pay for social care (reported in the Daily Mail).
